Weather and Landscape
Temperatures have been fairly pleasant throughout the month at Andersson's, but there were a couple of very hot and humid days. Luckily these were usually broken by the odd rain shower or a cool breeze by nightfall. We didn't have a lot of rain this month, and it's hard to know whether one should be pleased or sad. Pleased because the dryness means guests see more animals at the waterhole, but sad because we really need the rain!

Wildlife and Birding
March has seen animals gradually returning to the waterhole - which is a welcome sight after about two months of kudu and giraffe.

The waterhole is now frequented by several rhino and we are having almost daily sightings. The blue wildebeest have discovered our mud-wallow, which was intended for rhino, and have been grooming in there often.

A new pride of lion have moved into the area and although they are seen at the waterhole every now and then they are much less vocal than the previous pride.

Welcome visitors on the birding front include Black-faced Waxbills, Bare-cheeked Babblers and several species of Whydahs. Another wonderful sight is Rufous-cheeked Nightjars hunting in the light at the waterhole.

Camp Staff
Camp Managers, Charles and Annalie, have been here for a year now and are looking forward to a couple more. Assistant Managers, Sakkie and Lorna, are old hands by now and are doing a brilliant job. Francois has joined us in the office and is also doing well.
